TheGreek Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Yes really!! Just spoke to the fella - has had in many years and isn't gigging any more - feels that he's had his money's worth from it. He has a fella coming from Carlisle tomorrow to buy it - if you can get there first - I'd run.. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/wal-4-string-bass-guitar/1138375648 Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 That must be some sort of scam surely? Quote
TheGreek Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 Fella seems genuine...ring him.. Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1445272637' post='2890144'] Fella seems genuine...ring him.. [/quote] Unfortunately I'm nowhere near Edinburgh... If it's not a scam then it's a bargain there for someone ... weird inlays though... Quote
TheGreek Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 He's also got 2x Fenders and a MM Ray which he's planning on selling.. Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Gotta be worth a look if you're in the area... If it checks out, a cheeky couple hundred extra might persuade the seller to save Mr Carlisle a trip tomorrow. Edited October 19, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote
TheGreek Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 Spoiler alert - I told him it's worth in the region of £3,500 Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1445273619' post='2890155'] Spoiler alert - I told him it's worth in the region of £3,500 [/quote] That's fair enough, it is... An older MK1, if everything checks out, probably around the £3k mark. He could certainly go for double his asking price if he was after a quick sale. Edited October 19, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote
Lozz196 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Interesting that his US Precision is £800 - ok price but seen them go for a good bit less. Quote
thestick Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 It's Sold and was genuine ! Not to me though😢 Quote
TheGreek Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Any idea how much for?? If it went for £1200 somebody got the steal of the century.. Quote
4-string-thing Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Wonder if it was DavidMckay? Edited October 20, 2015 by 4-string-thing Quote
roman_sub Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 It was someone called Roy and bass is now apparently sold (not to me) Quote
TheGreek Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 How long before we see it back on sale for £3,000+?? Quote
sblueplanet Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Er.....tomorrow most likely. I'm a lefty but if had spotted this would have snapped it up to play it upside down. Dream bass. Quote
LukeFRC Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 [quote name='roman_sub' timestamp='1445374136' post='2891087'] It was someone called Roy and bass is now apparently sold (not to me) [/quote] Theres a fat idiot who I think is called Roy, lives in Livingston who buys stuff up on gumtree and then flogs it for profit the next week... watch ebay... Quote
LukeFRC Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 though if carlisle there is hope. Hopefully we never see it online again apart from in someones gig photos. I does look nice doesn't it? Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Anyone know if this is on ebay yet? Honest seller though... he even rebuked my cheeky higher bid Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1445410708' post='2891203'] Theres a fat idiot who I think is called Roy, lives in Livingston who buys stuff up on gumtree and then flogs it for profit the next week... watch ebay... [/quote] It was the seller who was called Roy and I think he was in Duddingston, so I'd presume it was a different chap from the Roy you've encountered. Quote
Kev Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Something is wrong here. It takes about 10 seconds to find out how much a Wal is worth, in the incredibly unlikely event that he would not know how much his own instrument may be worth. Why would he sell it for so cheap, and of course on Gumtree as opposed to Ebay or any other more lasting advertisement? Stolen? I don't know, but in this day and age, and after having been told by someone its true value (which was bang on)... Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 It would appear he's been posting on Gumtree for 3+ years and he supplies a landline phone number. Surely someone fencing stolen goods would have a new account and a PAYG mobile? Quote
